    Hey mate, pretty sure you cant fit a pod into a stock airbox.

    But here are some ideas on how to make it look neat...

    RACE Flow Cold Air Intake for VT-VY Series Commodores - have a look round this site as well... its got some pretty good stuff.

    Hope this helps!

    Get a cheap panel filter like a Lukey or Drift. Pod in stock box = fail.

    2nd That

    If you want to keep the stock air box get a quality panel filter, if you want a pod get a custom box from someone like mace.
    The only reason to put a pod if the stock box is so you can say you have a pod and sound sick. it will likely work worse.

    Well I bought the pod it was pretty cheap gonna fit it in the air box so it looks stock I'm wanting to cut a hole on the right side of the box and make another intake pipe going from the box to behind the light area seems there's nothing there anyone have any pics of how they did it?
    Thanks

    Worth a quick read of this site to get an idea about where you place the intake... I dunno if behind the headlight will be a positive pressure environment?

    Consider this also. You actually get more air flow than a pod filter.
